Release notes
This page has been updated to include the latest 2.x improvements - not all features described here were available in 2.0
Upgrading from 1.x
When upgrading from version 1.x, version 2 this should work as a drop-in replacement if you had a standard configuration in 1.x. Visit the configuration page to see new options.
If you were previously using an alternative pattern then you may need to modify it in order to use the some 2.x features such as using language name to mark a section. Alternatively, disable the use alternative pattern option so that version 2 default pattern will be used.
New features
* Support for new Language Sections Extras.
* Added support for caching which can reduce site load considerably. See below.
* Can now define multiple strings for all languages and default sections, making these strings more "friendly" as they can be more meaningful and in several languages.
* Can use any combination of language code, language name and language prefix to mark sections.
See screenshot at http://drupal.org/node/746570
So, the following is possible:
=== spanish ===
This is Spanish
== fr ==

=== French ===
This is also French
=== all ===
This is shown for all languages
=== Otros ===
This is shown for other languages (otros is Spanish for others.)
=== English ===
This is shown for other languages, because we're using English as the default.
Other enhancements:
* User help can be configured.
* A single configuration can be shared among all input filters.
Caching support
Included in v2.4 and above. All earlier versions of LS could not be cached, due to a limitation of the way Drupal 6 caches the output from filters. LS now includes a patch to make Drupal 6 filter caching behave in a similar way to Drupal 7, and that allows LS output to be cached. The result may be a very significant reduction in server load if your LS-based content is frequently viewed. You can use Filter Check to check that caching is enabled for an input format.
The patch needs to be applied to filter.module in the drupal/modules directory. It is included in the LS distribution as check_markup_language_patch_1.patch
